Precision Drilling Corporation Amended and Restated Employee Stock
Option Plan, dated May 31, 2010.
(a)
The undersigned registrant hereby undertakes:
(1)
To file, during any period in which offers or sales are being made, a post-effective
amendment to this Registration Statement:
(i)
To include any prospectus required by Section 10(a)(3) of the Securities Act;
(ii)
To reflect in the prospectus any facts or events arising after the effective
date of the Registration Statement (or the most recent post-effective amendment
thereof) which, individually or in the aggregate, represent a fundamental change in
the information set forth in the Registration Statement. Notwithstanding the
foregoing, any increase or decrease in volume of the securities offered (if the
total dollar value of securities offered would not exceed that which was registered)
and any deviation from the low or high end of the estimated maximum offering range
may be reflected in the form of prospectus filed with the Commission pursuant to
Rule 424(b) if, in the aggregate, the changes in volume and price represent no more
than a 20 percent change in the maximum aggregate offering price set forth in the
Calculation of Registration Fee table in the effective Registration Statement; and
(iii)
To include any material information with respect to the plan of distribution
not previously disclosed in the Registration Statement or any material change to
such information in the Registration Statement;
PROVIDED, HOWEVER, that paragraphs (a)(1)(i) and (a)(1)(ii) above do not apply if the
information required to be included in a post-effective amendment by those paragraphs is
contained in reports filed with or furnished to the Commission by the Corporation pursuant
to section 13 or section 15(d) of the Exchange Act that are incorporated by reference in the
Registration Statement.
(2)
That, for the purpose of determining any liability under the Securities Act, each such
post-effective amendment shall be deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the
securities offered therein, and the offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed
to be the initial
bona fide
offering thereof.
(3)
To remove from registration by means of a post-effective amendment any of the securities
being registered which remain unsold at the termination of the offering.
(b)
The Corporation hereby undertakes that, for purposes of determining any liability under the
Securities Act, each filing of the Corporations annual report pursuant to section 13(a) or section
15(d) of the Exchange Act that is incorporated by reference in the Registration Statement shall be
deemed to be a new registration statement relating to the securities offered therein, and the
offering of such securities at that time shall be deemed to be the initial
bona fide
offering
thereof.
(c)
Insofar as indemnification for liabilities arising under the Securities Act may be permitted to
directors, officers and controlling persons of the Corporation pursuant to the foregoing
provisions, or otherwise, the Corporation has been advised that in the opinion of the Commission
such indemnification is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and is, therefore,
unenforceable. In the event that a claim for indemnification against such liabilities (other than
the payment by the Corporation of expenses incurred or paid by a director, officer or controlling
person of the Corporation in the successful defense of any action, suit or proceeding) is asserted
by such director, officer or controlling person in connection with the securities being registered,
the Corporation will, unless in the opinion of its counsel the matter has been settled by
controlling precedent, submit to a court of appropriate jurisdiction the question whether such
indemnification by it is against public policy as expressed in the Securities Act and will be
governed by the final adjudication of such issue.

Any Option that remains unexercised shall be immediately forfeited upon the expiration of such 12 month period. | |
9.3 | If, before the expiry of an Option in accordance with the terms thereof, the Participant holding such Option shall cease to be an officer or employee of the Precision Group by reason of Disability or Leave of Absence, such Option shall continue to vest in accordance with its terms and may be exercised (if such Option is fully vested) or surrendered until the normal expiry of the Option in accordance with its terms. | |
9.4 | If, before the expiry of an Option in accordance with the terms thereof, the Participant holding such Option shall cease to be an officer or employee of the Precision Group by reason of Retirement, such Option shall continue to vest in accordance with its terms and may be exercised (if such Option is fully vested) or surrendered at any time within 24 months of the Participants Termination Date unless otherwise provided in the terms of a particular Option. Any Option that remains unexercised shall be immediately forfeited upon the expiration of such 24 month period. | |

9.6 | If, before the expiry of an Option in accordance with the terms thereof, the Participant holding such Option shall cease to be an officer or employee of the Precision Group by reason of termination other than for Cause, such Option shall continue to vest in accordance with its terms and may be exercised (if such Option is fully vested) or surrendered at any time within 90 days of the Participants Termination Date.

- 11 -
(a) | by the Employer or by the entity that has entered into a valid and binding agreement with the Corporation and/or other members of the Precision Group to effect the Change of Control at any time after such agreement is entered into or during the Control Period and such termination was for any reason other than for Cause; or | ||
(b) | by the Participant within 30 days after an act of Constructive Dismissal, provided such act of Constructive Dismissal occurs during the Control Period; |
the Participants Options shall become fully vested and may be exercised or surrendered by the Participant (including such part, if any, thereto which, but for this Section 9.7, would not otherwise be able to be exercised or surrendered) at any time within 90 days of the Participants Termination Date. Any Option that remains unexercised shall be immediately forfeited upon the expiration of such 90 day period. | ||

(a) | the Continuing Entity does not (or, upon the occurrence of the Substitution Event or Permitted Reorganization, will not) substitute or replace Continuing Entity Options for the Options outstanding under the Plan on the same terms as described in Section 10.1; |
- 12 -

the outstanding Options shall become fully vested and may be exercised or surrendered by the Participant (including such part, if any, thereto which, but for this Section 10.2, would not otherwise be able to be exercised or surrendered) at any time after the Participant receives written notice from the Board of such accelerated vesting and prior to the occurrence of the Substitution Event or Permitted Reorganization; provided, however, that such vesting, exercise or surrender shall be, unless otherwise determined in advance by the Board, effective immediately prior to, and shall be conditional on, the consummation of such Substitution Event or Permitted Reorganization.

(b) | make amendments of a procedural or housekeeping nature; | ||
(c) | change the termination provisions of an Option granted under the Plan which does not entail an extension of the expiry date of the Option beyond the original expiry date of the Option; or |

Any such amendments shall, if made, become effective on the date selected by the Board. The Board may not, however, without the consent of the Option holder, except as permitted by provisions of Articles 8 or 10 hereof, alter or impair any of the rights or obligations under any Option theretofore granted. | ||
12.2 | Notwithstanding Section 12.1, approval of the holders of Shares will be required in order to: |
(a) | increase the maximum number of Shares reserved for issuance under the Plan; | ||
(b) | reduce the Option Price in respect of any Option; | ||
(c) | extend the period of time during which an Option must be exercised or surrendered; | ||

(e) | add any form of financial assistance by the Corporation for the exercise of any Option; | ||

(b) | the admission of such Shares to listing on any stock exchange on which Shares may then be listed; and | ||
(c) | the receipt from the Participant of such representations, agreements and undertakings as to future dealings in such Shares as the Corporation determines to |
- 14 -
be necessary or advisable in order to safeguard against the violation of the securities or income tax laws of any jurisdiction. |
The Corporation shall take all reasonable steps to obtain such approvals and registrations as may be necessary for the issuance of such Shares in compliance with applicable securities laws and for the listing of such Shares on any stock exchange on which Shares are then listed. | ||
13.2 | The Precision Group may withhold from any amount payable to a Participant, either under the Plan, or otherwise, such amount as may be necessary so as to ensure that the Precision Group will be able to comply with the applicable provisions of any federal, provincial or local law relating to the withholding of tax or other required deductions, including on the amount, if any, includable in the income of a Participant. | |
14. | Participants Rights | |
A Participant shall not have any rights as a shareholder of the Corporation in respect of any Shares issuable pursuant to an Option until the issuance of Shares upon the exercise of the Option or a portion thereof, and then only with respect to the Shares so issued. For greater certainty, a Participant shall not have the right or be entitled to exercise any voting rights, receive dividends or have or be entitled to any other rights as a shareholder of the Corporation in respect of any Options. | ||
15. | Approvals | |
15.1 | If Shares cannot be issued to a Participant upon the exercise of an Option for any reason which, in the opinion of the Board, acting reasonably, would result in undue expense to the Corporation as a result of the Corporation being required to comply with non-Canadian regulatory requirements, the obligation of the Corporation to issue such Shares shall terminate and any funds paid to the Corporation in connection with the exercise of such Option will be returned to the relevant Participant as soon as practicable. In such circumstances, such Participant shall be deemed to have elected to surrender the Option in accordance with Section 6.2 and such Participant shall be paid the amount specified in that Section. | |
16. | Effective Date | |
